With the powder shortages in the burn rates normally used for M-14 / M1A's being what it is, is anyone trying any of the Accurate Arms powders ?and with what results ?
As a side note I know the AR-10 & 15's aren't as picky, I just tried some ammo that came with an AR-10T loaded with LEVERevolution and a friend is reporting good results in his AR 15.

Allegedly AA 2495 is their equivalent to 4895.

Midsouth had both AA4064 and IMR 4064 yesterday in stock. The IMR was a good bit cheaper at roughly 15?.00/8 lbs.

ETA: yes I use quite a bit of Accurate powders but in 223 (no 308) and pistols. AA2230, #2, #5, and #7. All with good results.

I've used AA2230 for both 5.56mm and .308 with great results. Meters beautifully (Dillon powder measure) and with a little trial and error I've been able to find very accurate loads for both chamberings.
 
I have used AA4064 for 308 loads with 150-168 gr bullets. It appears to be a short-cut version of IMR-4064, and meters very well for a stick powder through my RCBS Uniflow. I used charge weights similar to IMR-4064 with good results
